Following Goodwood win, Tartan Jura has plenty more to offer in Great Offers At wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk Handicap
After facing a couple of terrible defeats early in the season, Tartan Jura finally managed to get off the mark when upped to two miles last time. The lightly raced 4-year-old certainly has a lot more to offer as a stayer in Great Offers At wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk
Handicap at Wolverhampton this Monday.
Today’s class 5 meeting is an interesting staying handicap that can go to Tartan Jura, who is unexposed and looks to be in great shape following an excellent win at Goodwood. Mark Johnston’s charge remained unlucky throughout last season. He shared the podium
twice, but no glory came to his way.
His unlucky journey continued this season, as he suffered a couple of embarrassing defeats in September. After completing the order of finish on his seasonal debut, the Frank Bird-owned showed some improvement at Musselburgh, but could only seize the seventh
place. His confidence was at a low after two straight losses, but the son of Green Desert unchained the shackles in style.
The audience at Goodwood saw him capturing the first place by one and a half lengths in the Betfred Bigger And Better Goals Galore Alderbrook Stakes (Handicap) (For Professional NH Jockeys). Having opened his account, the Newsells Park Stud-bred is brimming
with confidence, and should offer more today.
A strong line-up of 11 rivals is waiting for him. The contestants will compete over a distance of two miles and 119 yards. The competition is due to begin at 17:00 GMT. The successful horse will leave the field with £2,264.
Six Of Clubs and Gabrial´s King, both have done well here in the past, but Tartan Jura particularly should stay cautious of Formal Bid. The Gordon Elliott-trained is likely to make the best of his return to this distance. On his two starts last month, he
ran well, but failed to produce a winning act.
Formal Bid has been running well since the start of this season, but no victory has yet kissed his feet. According to our calculations, the 5-year-old will surely secure a place on the podium, and if he performs out of his skin, the chances of upsetting
Tartan Jura will be bright.
